Sheldon Leslie "Available" Jones (February 2, 1922 – April 18, 1991) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who played in the Major Leagues from 1946 through 1953 for the New York Giants, Boston Braves and Chicago Cubs.

He earned his nickname from a character in the Li'l Abner comic strip and because of his durability as both a starting pitcher and a reliever early in his MLB career as a member of the Giants.

Jones' professional career began in 1941 and was interrupted by three years of service (1943–45) in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.

[2] When he returned to baseball after the war, he posted back-to-back stellar seasons in the minor leagues, winning 32 of 44 decisions in 1946–47 before his permanent recall to the Giants.

All told he surrendered 909 hits and 413 bases on balls (and amassed the same number of strikeouts) in 920 innings pitched during his Major League tenure.
